Historians editing Misplaced Pages
I hope Misplaced Pages realizes how lucky it is to have major historian Rjensen editing. He is able to add to discussions with subject matter expert knowledge and full cites, especially valuable as the U.S. enters its 250th anniversary cycle. My question, to both of you and others, what are good options to "attract" more historians to edit Misplaced Pages aside from asking in direct communication? Articles in topical magazines, speakers at subject-field conferences, an interview on History TV, etc., are just some quick ideas. Thanks. And, of course, Happy 23rd!

Nomination of List of NASCAR drivers for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article List of NASCAR drivers is suitable for inclusion in Misplaced Pages according to Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion/List of NASCAR drivers (2nd nomination) until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.pburka (talk) 00:35, 19 January 2024 (UTC)
Happy New Year
In Chinese Misplaced Pages, editors from Taiwan and Hong Kong have shown different attitudes towards North Korean and South Korean media.
North Korean Because it is a state-controlled news outlet, it is unreliable.
South Korean media Even if it is state-controlled media, it is reliable.There is a Chinese word to describe this situation. "Double standard".（双重标准）I'm not involved in the fight, I just want you to know what happen in the Chinese Misplaced Pages?Editors in Taiwan are trying to list China's most important media as "unreliable reference sources." As I said before, I have no confidence in the Wikimedia project if a reference source is judged to be reliable solely on the basis of political leanings.
Good luck with reality and a happy new year. Assifbus (talk) 03:20, 20 January 2024 (UTC)
